Thanks Renat and Dave, your comments are very helpful. I had no idea the audio was so bad--that was probably willful ignorance on my part, but I certainly want to address it. I actually started out with a lav mike but found it was actually worse (if you can believe it, it sounded like I was at

It's the same for many of us - styles change, you get more comfortable, you find new things to keep you interested, you justify spending more time on it. My avatar that I use pretty much everywhere is a screenshot from one of the first to-camera videos I made back in 2005 where I was
